    Race tech complete front... DONE!

    Got the 1.1KG springs, valve emulators and preload adjuster caps installed. Wish I had pics guys, but the camera is on last legs.... and I was rushed. Cuople things I want to point out if anyone is considering the emulators. Overall, I would say medium difficult level. It is alot of work. The...

We are on the edge of potentially the worst storm the NE has ever seen, and Im doing a clutch in my shed that is barely big enough for the bike! Oh well, got it all done. So, R1 shock, clips ons and SRK clutch DONE. Just...

    Woodcraft 2" riser Clip Ons installed!

    Finally, after pining over clip ons for about 4 months, I finally found the ones that work. Woodcraft with 2" risers and black bars. So SEXY! They fit perfectly. Nothing hits, lock to lock. They are so much better than the FZ1 bars. Not much lower... about an inch. But, close to 3" forward, and...

    Timing, timing timing!!

    OK, so this may be premature(I dont think so...but) I have been playing around with the timing advance on my 09. I filed the detent on the ignition rotor until I had a perfect 2deg, 4deg and finally 6deg advance. I switched to NGK CR10E plugs. I have not been able to fully test it as the rain...

    Does your FZ lift in 1st gear?

    I have never really got into 1st gear really hard. Just passed the 1000mile mark and put on a 15T front sprocket. So today I said, "what the hell" and grabbed a handfull of 1st. At about 10K the bike lifted straight up and I was a bit surprised by it. Normal?

Oh well, on a good note, I went and grabbed a 15T sprocket today, Im drinking some awesome Yuengling Lager and smoking chicken on the grill. Cup is half full I...

    R6 Header

    So I have had the R6 header on my 09 for a couple months now and have several hundred miles on it. For anybody looking into an exhaust, consider doing it with the R6S header. IMO this is the most well constructed header ever designed. It has a perfect 4-2-1 pipe setup. Big long primaries, long...
